In early 2026, the European Union (EU) adopted the Omnibus I proposal to simplify the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by reducing reporting burdens and enhancing competitiveness. However, it has been criticised for weakening sustainability ambitions and increasing uncertainty about future sustainability reporting. This thesis examines how sustainability professionals percei
Sweden has experienced pronounced long-run fluctuations in fertility since the mid-twentieth century, alongside persistent within-year seasonality in births. While many fertility movements can be interpreted ex post in relation to economic conditions, cohort size, and institutional reforms, a central practical challenge is ex ante: when does an emerging decline become statistically detectable as t
In this episode of The Climate Show, Viktor Weber interviews Harilaos Psaraftis, Professor Emeritus of the Danish Technical University. Viktor has asked Professor Psaraftis about the functioning of the market-based measures that are proposed at the International Maritime Organization for the decarbonization of the shipping industry.
This study investigates if socio-economic indicators can reliably be derived from remotely sensed data and can serve as proxies for detecting and monitoring the spatial impacts of the violent conflict in the Mopti region of Mali. Traditional conflict event databases - like the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) – provide point-based event data but often fail to capture gradua
This study explores the initial motivations of founders to hire the first employees in their firms, how those early hires begin to perform a relevant role, and how they shape founders’ motivations toward subsequent hiring decisions. Focusing on five startups in Sweden and incorporating the perspectives of both founders and joiners, this study is relevant as entrepreneurial firms play a significant
Vision is often considered to top the hierarchy of the senses, reflected for example in the high relative frequency of vision verbs, in comparison to other perception verbs. Results from some previous studies, however, have shown that there is greater cross-linguistic variation concerning perception language than previously thought, emphasising other sense modalities than vision. This thesis condu
Hepatobiliary excretion can be a major clearance pathway dictating the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Quantitative prediction of human hepatobiliary excretion of drugs is thus essential in early drug development. Extrapolations from current in vitro models are challenging due to differences in expression of enzymes and transporters from native liver tissue. This study aims to utilise 3D spheroids of p
Purpose The purpose of this study is to establish a list of facilitating factors for the implementation of organisational innovations in healthcare units. We accomplish this by a thorough literary review, which is followed by an empirical case study of Capio Group. The case study is conducted to validate the theoretical findings, based on subjective perceptions of healthcare practitioners. This w
The aim of this thesis is to develop an understanding of how Swedish retailers selling goods on the consumer market and the competition among them have been affected by the growth of e-commerce between the years 2007-2015. Firm specific data from 133 firms have been used together with market specific data estimated from 6850 firms to analyse why some firms do better than others, and which decision
Duni has successfully expand their business internationally. Internationalization makes the distance between the producer and consumers become longer and this leads to strength reduction of corrugated boxes along the supply chain. To overcome this problem, this study is conducted to find the extent of corrugated boxes strength reduction during logistical activities, practices and condition in the
Development of genetically modified microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use as microbial cell factories to produce fine and bulk chemicals has lately proceeded very rapidly, much thanks to new gene editing methods based on a CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted from bacteria which increases the rate of genetic engineering. However, development of methods which enable fast and simple screenin

Examensarbetet kommer att undersöka om man genom utveckling av konventionell enkelspåriga stationer (driftplatser) kan få ett mer säkert och kostnadsreducerande alternativ
Seafood can be a potential source of contaminants and when consumed contribute to an increased exposure of these substances. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are contaminants accumulating in our seafood and are therefore an emerging concern. It has been suggested that cooking seafood can influence the concentration of heavy metals and other organic contaminants, however, few studies ha
